/me did a long time ago.

The advantages: the GMail's spam filter is good, the built-in search
engine is awesome, the quota is huge, I can read my e-mail from
anywhere in the world (even from my cell phone), labeling mails is
much more useful than using folders, you can apply filters, you have
integrated IM, and so on.

The disadvantages: you get ads, you leave your e-mail in hands of a
third-party, if GMail goes down you won't be able to read you e-mail,
and so on.
